This was really good. I’ve never added sugar before. It really added extra flavor. I’d recommend making a day in advance.

This is perfect! My husband loves to dip Chinese appetizers (egg rolls, spring rolls, potstickers) in hot mustard, and this was as good as any restaurant version. Before I let it sit (per the directions) it seemed too runny, but I let it sit overnight in the fridge. I stirred it before we were about to eat, and it was the consistency of regular mustard - so don't worry! I made Alton Brown's Perfect Potstickers (Recipe #137829), served them with some shrimp fried rice (Recipe #38748), and made this on the side. It felt like we had gotten take out! This is a keeper sauce. Another great recipe, dojemi! :)

This will defnitely be a great dip for Chinese food, but in the meantime, I tripled the recipe & will be serving it as one of several dip choices for some fried mac & cheese balls as well as sweet potato wedges that I've made (recipes here on Zaar) for a 4th of July celebration at my place! Thanks for an exceptionally easy recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the Unrated Asian Recipe Tag event]
